A Rich Granger

Rumor's busy tongue has been giving
currancy TO the report that Los An
geles' most genial granger, D. Freeman,
had bonded his principality west of the
city and along the ocean for SIS an acre,
and that those who had the bond had
sold their interest to the A. T. h S. F.
people for SOS per acre.
The HERALD is in q position to say
that there is nothing in such report. 1t
is an open secret that powerful syndi-
cate some months ago wished to pur.
chase the place, and that the princely
proppieto gave refusal up to o certain
date in November. The price to be
paid was 100000. As there are l3, 900
acres in the Sausal Rodondo, and 1000
in the Centinela, or $4,000 acres
in the post essions of Mr.. Freeman,
that price was $40 on acre all round.
On the day appointed, the representa-
tive Of the coin told the man of land
they could not give more than $500. 600
for the property. Very well, said Mr..
Freeman, the price of my ranch now is
$3.50, 900. Later these same people Of.
fered the last price named, but the Mer.
curial owner had "seen their raise and
went them one better" He has since
refused 500 an acre, or cool million
and half for the principality. His
price now would be about 500 an acre
for the Sansal Rodondo and $500 for the
Centinela.

Yesterday morning when the Cffice

missing. A tin box containing securities
had been cut open from the bottom and
carried of. A number of "smoke
balls," valued by the physician at Sl75,

several checks, which he will be unable

A BIG WILL CONTEST.
Decided in Favor of the LeRntec
by the Court.

by the COufts
The contest Of the will OF the late
Castor Oxarart. a wealthy Frenchman
who died last year, leaving very large
estate, came up for trial yesterday in
Department No. of the Superior
Court, before Judge Cheney. The pro.
bato of the will has been put off from
time to time for some months, owing 10
the claim of one Bonita Murillo and her
son Francisco Murillo, who had been in.
duced to contest the disposition made by
the deceased Of his property, on the al.
legged ground that she was the widow of
Oxarart and that her son Francisco was
the son of the said Castor. When the
case came up yesterday in the probate
department of the Superior Court Bonita
Murillo was put on the stand. She tes.
tilted in substance that her name was
Bonita Murillo aud that she had
never been known by any other
name. She swole that the boys
father was not Oxarart. She admitted
having had relations with the de ceased
Oxarart, but that was after tho birth OF
the boy. She denied ever having repre-
sented herself as the wife of the de.
ceased during his life time, nor had he
ever called her so. AS matter of
fact she had never been married to him |
at all. She further said that she had |
been induced to commence the contest |
of the will of the deceased upon certain |
representations made to her by one |
Edward Amar, in the belief that she |
would thereby be enabled 10 obt in |
money out of the deceased's estate. She |
stated also that she was not influenced |
by fear or by the hope of reward in |
giving the present testimony. Her son
Francisco was also put on the stand,
aud his testimony was corroborative of |
his mothers in all such particulars as |
came within his knowledge.
Tho court appointed MIR. Hardie at
torney for absent heirs Testimony for
the petitioner was then heard. Simon +.
Gless. the legatee and petitioner. and
w. II. Workman, Geo. Cummings and
a, Vignolo, who subscribed the will as
witnesses to the signature Of CASTOR
Oxarart, testified. The court then ad
mitted the will to probate and ordered
the issuance of letters testamenilfy to
Simon +. Gless, without bonds. in ac.
cord ince with the provisions of the will.
BY the terms of this document S. F.
Gless, nephew OF the deceased, is mado
heir to all of the testator's real and per.
sonal property. This, according to the
valuation of the appraisers appointed by
the court, is 1906. 900. By those who are
in position to know, the estate is val.
ued at between 500, 600 and $500, ,000
Amongst the property left is the Encino
